Does anybody have the numbers for the 'Airplane Wreck'?
I think near Cape Charles.

Rappahannockman-- 'Airplane 747' 36 52.581N 74 53.517W (that's from Ches.Angler mag website/wrecks).
Are you catching anything now in the Rivah? I'm across river from you @ DeepCreek and need some pullage!

[rappahanockman]

CREEKSTER I looked at the chart and those
numbers are waaaay offshore. I've been hearing about a wreck in the Bay near Cape Charles.

The Spot are really biting good right now and a few keeper
trout are mixed in.I have heard of 2 citation spot from the Rapp.
this past week.I plan to get out there this weekend.

There is a fishing spot in Maryland that attracts chummers and troller for rockfish in Maryland. I know of nothing around the Cape Charles area.

[capt. dave]

I can give you the location of the 'Air Plane Wreck' up in Maryland if you want it.

[rappahanockman]

Thanks Capt. Dave , but this wreck is somewhere in the
Cape Charles area and I have heard several second
hand reports of large Flounder being caught there in the
last 2 weeks.

Thanks John! I thinks thats the place.
Have you been Striper fishing yet?
I plan to try some livelining at the Whitestone Bridge Sunday.
That will be my first try this year!

[satterly]

I have been out in the Piankatank throwing lures at dock lights in the evenings and catching some small fish. I tried catching some small spot to liveline with the other day but all the spot I could get were large eating size lol. If I can talk my dad into this weekend we may try the whitestone bridge but he hasn't been much into fishing lately. Good luck if you do go.
